Most people already have a wireless router at the office or at home, but if you need another one, it doesn't get much cheaper than this - $15 to your mailbox.

The reviews look pretty good - average over 4 stars.  Most people reported that they didn't expect such a nice unit at this price.  It has all the standard features you'd expect, you can read them over at the link.

So why do you need another wireless router?  Many people mentioned using it to help with some 'dead spots' in their current wireless coverage at home.  Various ways to connect a second router to a wireless network - we can help you there.  Or maybe it's just time you added wireless access at the office or in your restaurant.  At $15 you shouldn't have to think that hard.

Click here to check it out

No hardware deals that meet our criteria came across the DEAL desk today.   But here's a deal that provides a COMPLETE (and then some) telephone PBX system that doesn't need any hardware.  Unlimited extensions - and it only costs $10 / month.

If you're not sure what PBX or ACD means, don't feel bad.  VirtualPBX is basically a complete and very advanced phone system that can do all the fancy and magic stuff you read about - call out to you on several real phones in sequence, send voice mail to your email, takes faxes, advanced call center functions (that's the ACD part), and so much more.  Did we mention unlimited extensions, for $10 / month?

Everything is managed over the web or your phone.  Calls are routed to your existing phones (and cell phones, even SIP devices) so no new equipment is required for your company to have inbound phone features usually reserved for the big boys.  For $10 / month.  Move over boys.

It's back - a rock-bottom price on a 3-license copy of a 'total' protection security package.

As we've said before, there are several major players in this game (Kapersky, McAfee, Symantec, AVG) and opinions vary on which tool is best.  Is this the best one?  Depends on who you want to believe.  Is this a good value even if it is not the best?  Certainly.

If cost is the reason you DON'T have some sort of security tool running on your system, you'll have to re-think that excuse.  Free shipping - do the math - this will cost less than $14 to cover 3 systems.  More math - that comes to $0.10 per WEEK.  A dime per week.
